RW Brock Boeser - North Dakota, NCAA (2015, 23rd, VAN)

[TT1]

I'm a pretty big fan of his (that being said i naturally haven't seen him play as much as the CHL guys, 2 tourneys in total) and i have him at #19. Button has always stated that he doesnt rank players that he hasnt seen enough of very high which is why Boeser is probably a bit higher than he should be. I assume he's been actively following the american players because hes very high on both Connor and Boeser (aswell as guys like Roslovic etc.).

Personally i haven't seen enough of him to rank him any higher atm but from what i saw at Hlinka and at the U-19's he looked like an absolute stud. At the U19's he was on the ice more than anyone in the 3rd period in almost every game (i thought him and Novak were both better than Connor in that tourney).

We've got Boeser at 26. Intriguing sniper/power forward prospect.

Boeser finishes #9 on Button's list, come draft day i personally see him going around #20, maybe a bit earlier (17'ish) if a team really likes him.

Boeser is a good skater with good acceleration and speed, but what is more impressive is the way he maintains his balance. A pure goal scorer who can beat you in a variety of ways, Boeser is not afraid to get his hands dirty and fight for the territory that offers him the best chance to bury one. He has world-class scoring skills and possesses an arsenal of shots. He is one of the draft’s best at positioning himself to make the most out of a given play. And while he’s a very gifted playmaker with very good vision, he owns such a deadly shot that he was usually the go-to guy on the business end of set ups. Boeser is a unique talent in that he already owns an NHL build in addition to being very mature and humble. But he plays with desire and is a battler who continues to seek out scoring chances and makes plays no matter what the score or time remaining.

[Kobe Armstrong]

Top choice for Montreal

Top choice for Montreal

He does seem to be the Habs choice in many mock drafts. I would be intrigued if he were the Habs pick.

Any NHL player comparison ?

Any NHL player comparison ?

Oshie. And not because they're both from Minnesota. He's just a very creative goal scorer like Conner but not as wiry.

You have to figure he'll put on 10-15 more pounds of muscle over the next few seasons. Speed isn't really his thing so the bigger he gets, the better he'll be at getting open to use his wicked shot,

 

[Moskau]

He'd be a good complementary winger to Eichel.

Oshie is an interesting comparison, but I think Kyle Okposo is a better one.

Vrbata.

Pure sniper.

 

[Kamal007]

He compares himself to Okposo. I like the comparison. Would love him at the 2nd Leaf pick.

 

[OvermanKingGainer]

Boeser kind of reminds me of Tyler Toffoli.

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

he should go play in Seattle (they own his CHL rights) and create a deadly duo with Barzal

Nah. UND is going to be stacked with him and he'll likely play on a line with nick schmaltz

A good program close to home. It was the obvious choice for him. Though he and Mathew Barzal would haul ass for sure.

 

[BobbyShehan]

You got a pick between 25 and 30. Biitner, DeBrusk, Beauvillier and Boeser are still available. Who do you pick?

Beauvillier, but Boeser would be second.


I second those who say he'd be a great compliment to a playmaking center like Eichel or Barzal.

 

[Bobby Digital]

Look good but has such a bust name. Brock Boeser ewww.

It's pronounced Besser.

I hope Ottawa takes him at 18, or trades back to take him.

 

[NarcoPolo]

Is this guy similar to sprong at all? Seems less risky from scouting reports though

 

[Disappearing Semin]

It's pronounced Besser.

I hope Ottawa takes him at 18, or trades back to take him.

me too

 

[KingTux]

He looks like a Montreal kind of player
Wouldn't mind adding another scoring touch to the team

Boeser .

 

[KnuckChuckinTkachuk]

Seems like Ottawa might be interested, from the above video he sure has that Bobby Ryan fist pump down pat!
